[bug, patch] Bashism in boost/tools/build/v2/tools/common.jam
by Philipp Frauenfelder 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Hi There is a bashism in common.jam of Boost.Build v2. I have reported this problem to the jamboost mailing list but apparently, nobody picked it up (no reply whatsoever). The normal 'sh' shell does not allow 'export VAR=value' but only 'VAR=value;export VAR' instead. The patch against 1.24 is attached (I also removed some trailing white space, there is more 4 lines down but I did not correct it).

question regarding vacpp tests and mpl
by Robert Ramey 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

The serialization library is failing all tests with IBM visual age compiler. Errors occur within mpl. a) Can any one give me some hints to try to address this? b) Is there not a new version of mpl that is going to uploaded. Maybe if I just wait things will improve? Robert Ramey

RE: Boost.Test and mingw (Was: [boost] [1.32 release] Intel 8.0/M ingw regression results)
by Rob Lievaart 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Hi, Hi Volodya, There are some lines in test_tools.cpp to work around this but are defined only for GCC 3.3 and I am using 3.2 :-( There was a discussion on this isssue (I think) 2 days ago: http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg67745.php Where Gennadiy says he wil fix it. But that has not made it into cvs yet. This is the cause of a lot of errors in the report. I "hacked" around it locally by also testing for GCC 3.2 and that clears up a lot of the problems. I could post a diff for what I changed locally, but it is not a nice solution. I simply changed the == sign in the test for minor version to <= . The test discussed in the mail is better I guess. Kind regards, Rob Lievaart.

Problems with program_options using GCC 3.4 on FreeBSD
by Jonathan Wakely 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Hi Boosters, I've just tried building the program_options library, using GCC 3.4.1 on FreeBSD 4.8 and hit a couple of compilation errors. One error is caused by the platform, one by the compiler's stdlib. The first problem is line 116 in libs/program_options/src/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp gcc-C++-action bin/boost/libs/program_options/build/libboost_program_options.a/gcc/debug/utf8_codecvt_facet.o /data/development/jw/src/extcvs/boost/libs/program_options/build/../src/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp: In member function `virtual std::codecvt_base::result boost::program_options::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet_wchar_t::do_out(mbstate_t&, const wchar_t*, const wchar_t*, const wchar_t*&, char*, char*, char*&) const': /data/development/jw/src/extcvs/boost/libs/program_options/build/../src/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp:116: error: `WCHAR_MAX' undeclared (first use this function) /data/development/jw/src/extcvs/boost/libs/program_options/build/../src/utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp:116: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) WCHAR_MAX is not defined by FreeBSD's wchar.h. Can boost::numeric_limits<wchar_t> be used instead? The second problem is visible because I built GCC with concept-checks enabled, which means the STL containers use a version of Boost's concept checks. This reveals that boost/program_options/options_description.hpp uses an incomplete type on line 232: gcc-C++-action bin/boost/libs/program_options/build/libboost_program_options.a/gcc/debug/options_description.o In file included from /data/development/jw/src/extcvs/boost/libs/program_options/build/../src/options_description.cpp:9: /data/development/jw/gcc/3.4/bin/../lib/gcc/i386-unknown-freebsd4.8/3.4.1/../../../../include/c++/3.4.1/bits/boost_concept_check.h: In instantiation of `__gnu_cxx::_SGIAssignableConcept<boost::program_options::options_description>': /data/development/jw/gcc/3.4/bin/../lib/gcc/i386-unknown-freebsd4.8/3.4.1/../../../../include/c++/3.4.1/bits/stl_vector.h:144: instantiated from `std::vector<boost::program_options::options_description, std::allocator<boost::program_options::options_description> >' /data/development/jw/src/extcvs/boost/boost/program_options/options_description.hpp:232: instantiated from here /data/development/jw/gcc/3.4/bin/../lib/gcc/i386-unknown-freebsd4.8/3.4.1/../../../../include/c++/3.4.1/bits/boost_concept_check.h:216: error: `__gnu_cxx::_SGIAssignableConcept<_Tp>::__a' has incomplete type /data/development/jw/src/extcvs/boost/boost/program_options/options_description.hpp:142: error: forward declaration of `class boost::program_options::options_description' This error can be reproduced by compiling with -D_GLIBCXX_CONCEPT_CHECKS, or -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG. Both the concept-checks and debug mode will reject std::vector< incomplete type >. jon -- "Nothing is true. Everything is permissible." - Hassan i Sabbah

Latest Boost.Threads regression results on meta-como-win32-4.3.3-vc7
by Michael Glassford 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

The Boost.Threads regression results for meta-como-win32-4.3.3-vc7 at http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/developer/thread.html all fail because: <quote> "C:\Users\Administrator\boost\main\boost\boost/config/requires_threads.hpp", line 29: catastrophic error #35: #error directive: "Threading support unavaliable: it has been explicitly disabled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS" # error "Threading support unavaliable: it has been explicitly disabled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS" </quote> The reason BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS is defined is because -DBOOST_DISABLE_WIN32 being passed on the command line. Does anyone know whether this option is on the command line on purpose, or should I consider it a configuration error for that toolset? Mike

The serialization library is set up as two libraries. Serialization.lib and wserialization.lib. If there isn't proper support for wide chars, the later fails to build and the tests that depend upon fail to pass. This is what happens when I test gcc on cygwin. So the fact that there is no wide char support on a particular platform should be no problem as far as the serialization library is concerned. Of course in such environments wide char use has to be avoided. Robert Ramey

RE: [boost] Re: Regression results
by Rob Lievaart 22 Jul '04

Hi Alekey, I am currently running your script, for tests with mingw (gcc 3.2.3) So you should see these results appearing as well, sometime today (machine is not that fast). I'll watch the output of the upload and if it fails I'll try the new script. After a quick glance at the bjam.log (still growing) I noticed that python was not setup correctly, so those tests are not run. I'll try to correct that for the next run. And in boost tests there is a problem with wcscmp not being declared in std, that causes a lot of tests to fail, but I thought I read on the list that a fix for that was submitted ?!? Well, lets see if the upload works. Kind regards, Rob Lievaart. -----Original Message----- From: Aleksey Gurtovoy [mailto:agurtovoy@meta-comm.com] Sent: 21 July, 2004 1:35 PM To: boost(a)lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [boost] Re: Regression results for Intel 8 online Stefan Slapeta writes: > The regressions are finished and should appear in the metacomm result > tables after the next update there. Stefan, It seems that the logs didn't get uploaded. Could you please run the attached 'regression.py' with the 'upload' command, e.g. python regression.py upload --runner=<your runner id> ?

Como --windows experiment failed
by Jeff Garland 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Based on the regression report it looks like --windows isn't accepted: The core of it is Command-line error #571: invalid option: --windows 1 catastrophic error detected in this compilation. Compilation terminated. Details at: http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/output/metacomm-bin-boost-libs-date_ti… or http://tinyurl.com/45z6v Thanks guys -- you will need to back out the change when you get a chance. Looks like it's time to mark the dll case as failing for Comeau. Jeff
